[Yaml-core] YAML Implementation Kwiki

Hi all.
I have set up a new wiki website for YAML implementors:
http://yaml.freepan.org
Here are the highlights:
- Uses extendible wiki software that I wrote from scratch in Perl.
CGI::Kwiki on CPAN soon!
- Kwiki formatting language has table support.
- Interactive testing of YAML implementations using the FIT testing
framework invented by Ward Cunningham. http://fit.c2.com
- Uses my own Perl implementation of FIT for Perl tests.
Test::FIT on CPAN now!
- FIT combined with Kwiki allows anybody in the world to add tests and
run them against various implementations immediately.
- Mike Orr and I have started the Python implementation rewrite. This is
being done in parallel with the Perl implementation rewrite. Notes are
on the Kwiki.
The most interesting page so far is:
http://yaml.freepan.org/index.cgi?YamlSpecRoundtrip
This runs the spec examples against YAML.pm. Click the 'RUN PERL TESTS'
link to run the tests. See the pretty colors. Help out by adding more
tests.
It is my hope that many people will contribute to adding FIT tests to
this site. It is very easy to do. Everybody is encouraged to do it. You
can create whole new pages of FIT tests as well as modify existing ones.
We need to set up Ruby and Python Fixtures to run the tests against. Any
takers? You can install the fixtures on any machine you like, and just
link to that machine from the wiki pages. FIT simply keys off of the CGI
referer field.
Cheers, Brian
